Constructed with white Capellania limestone and block granite, the steps leading to the main entrance of the Capitolio in Havana Centro are flanked on either side by 6.5m statues by the Italian artist Angelo Zanelli. To the left is Work (El Trabajo) and to the right The Tutelary Virtue (La Virtud Tutelar). The steps lead up to the central portico, which is 36m wide and more than 16m tall. There are 12 over 14m tall granite Roman style columns arranged in two rows.
